How the Statistical Validation of Functional Connectivity Patterns Can Prevent Erroneous Definition of Small-World Properties of a Brain Connectivity Network

<table>Distribution of the edge density characterizing the adjacency matrices extracted during the different iterations of connectivity estimation process on mannequin data in two different cases: Case 1 (a) → percentage of edges survived to shuffling procedure for a significance level of 5%, not corrected for multiple comparisons; Case 2 (b) → percentage of edges survived to shuffling procedure for a significance level of 5%, FDR corrected.</table>
